Abstract
The style of building up means the relation of the buildings of the settlement to each other and their location in the respective area. The building up of a city (the total of the buildings in it) continuously changes with time. In a metropolis similar to Budapest the overwhelming majority of buildings are replaced in a period of 100–150 years, and so the style of building up, the image of the city changes. Building up has two main aspects; one is whether buildings are built into each other in closed blocks or there is space among them (horizontal closedness), the other is the height of the buildings, the number of floors, which is called vertical heterogeneity.
